Alison Waterhouse

Alison joined Kettle’s Yard as Operations Manager in July 2021 having previously worked as Front of House Manager for Norwich Castle. She has a BA in History of Art from the University of East Anglia and has been working with front of house teams welcoming visitors to museums and galleries since 2007.

When she is not working at Kettle’s Yard she can often be found with a crochet hook in hand, or baking cakes for friends and family.

Alison’s favourite thing about Kettle’s Yard:
I find it difficult to select one favourite artwork, but what I love every day is the sense of calm I feel when I walk through the House, especially seeing the changing patterns from light and shade around the rooms at different times of day.
